the gentleman

All about USA. Thought it was a coalition. If the article did more to mention the coalition then it would  have some relevance to Thailand.  It is an interesting article but should be somewhere else.

It is about the coalition and I salute each person and every part of the coalition.

I thought this stuff was for the bear pit.......... If these threads are not stopped soon, I will start posting as well - George and the DR, you have banned people for less (no I am not asking for a banning), where is the balance and consistancy?

What's a "Bear Pit"? Sounds good to me, he11 let's go!

www.bearpit.net off you go mate, you should feel at home!

The best fast food to come out of the US in my opinion, Phuket has been left out unfortunately

I reckon it's a Canadian franchise G, something like Doctors incorporated, might slip down to Jetty road later and get one, 12" melt with all the fillings mmm.

I had one in Bangers last week, near the Emporium , do like that meat ball one Bronco! In Phuket we have McDonalds, Pizza Company and used to have a Burger King in town, but that vanished - if you want Burger King, you have to drive all the way to the airport as there is a new one in there.

I think I'm pretty clear on the pitfalls of living in Thailand. I have spent a lot of time traveling and much of it in SEA.

I think Pepe, you will find that a holiday in Thailand is not the same as living here, I had been to Asia on numerous occasions over the years and had a lot of fun and found the place friendly and welcoming. When I came to live here 7 years ago, thats when reality set in - The good out ways the bad, but its like living anywhere in the world.

thats how I evisage Georgie! , Pattaya?

Is it just me, or he does he mention Judges a lot

The judges decision will be final.

I have been told they are good, there is also another "cheaper" course in Chalong.

I appreciate all of the advice. I never intended to do anything without a lawyer. I will be married in the states to this girl as well. There is a good chance I will start my own company, just feeling things out.....hate for the entire process to be steered from my signifigant other...I trust her, but, just wanted to hear other opinions, so I can engage in some Dialogue without being totally ignorant.

"Gentlemen" I would be curious to hear some of your expriences...just seems like a good source of steady income.

mate, my experiences are mixed, but all up, very positive, just be carefull and be thorough - it is a developing country (the wild west), but by paying a good lawyer, is better than heart ache. I have quite a few properties here and I am as happy as a pig in sh+t.

The high end rental market (250,000 Baht a month), is in great demand as is 10,000 baht a month - what areas were you thinking?

I have been in Phuket for a while and have seen various situations that might interest you:

* First of all I have met many farangs who were convinced 100% that their wife / gf was the real deal and that their wifes loved them. Many of those are now broke back home because they did not protect themselves.

* Some Belgians redid soi easy and the dragon disco there and rented it from the former mayor of Patong. They pumped 15 million bath in and when it was finished, the guy kicked them out die to a loophole in the contract which the Belgium's laywyer did not see (perhaps on purpose)

* Dutch guy bought land at freedom beach and wanted to build a house there. The land title ended up being wrong and it was government land so he ended up with nothing.

* An american guy bought land which had a plantation of some kind. He was assured with phony document that he could build a housing estate. he purchased the land and found out later that the zoning regulation only allowed him to grow trees and fruit.

On the other side, I have a friend who bought land in Thalang some time ago and just sold it for a very healthy profit

I would like to point out a few things in your post.

Soi Easy was being sold by Easy Trade, hence the name of the soi, Yvonne (easy trade) and the mayor of Patong at the time Poo Yai Pian were the ideas and capital for it.

This Soi was a white elephant from the beginning and sales were hard to come buy - only an idiot would of pumped 15,000,000 baht into a deal like that!

The Dutch guy who bought land at Freedom Beach was very badly advised, for one Freedom Beach is only accessed through The Safari Pub, which is owned by a good friend of mine, he never allowed that beach to be accessed from there. The land titles on this area were always Tor Bor 6, Sor Kor 1 and crown land (sor por gor). The beach is the nudist beach for Phuket and really is only accesable by boat.

Everything you have stated is sad on an investment point of view, but also a bad judgement call on the buyers. It is so easy (pardon the pun), to have due dilligiance done on land titles and that is why you do everything via a reputable lawyer - as you would in every other country!

These guys left there brains at the departure point!

No I wasnt a Monkey Hanger mate, my great Uncle was stationed there in the late 30's (I think), but I thought that base was also used as a military airfield - any info on that side of things?

I was told by my grandfather that my uncle was in the Auxiliary Airforce 608 Bomber Squadron.

I must admit, I do like US TV , but the best comedies are usually British!

I see there is a new program in the USA, where 5 couples play a game to win a baby - now thats funny!

Animal lovers have rescued a small dog from a European man in his late

40s, who raped the animal repeatedly over a period of about a year.

Rak diao, jai diao. Or was this just his "maa nooi"?

Seriously, I am starting to wonder what is up, too.

Are there any generally accepted psychological theories about why some people are attracted to animals?

it was an ungly dog as well, surely something petite and young looking would of been a better choice

The fact that

A collection of people who consider an intestine filled with congealed blood a delicassy, who eat cold pies and drink hot piss, says enough about their gastronomic capabilities.

, Vegemites secret weapon - Bronco!

Also Englands favourite lager is Fosters and favourite soap is Neighbours - that says it all about the Brits

Gent - True Brits ain't got a favourite lager. If it's not Newcastle Brown it's Marston Pedigree or whatever. But ALE, not p1ss

And you must be talking about the summer, if you think it's a Saturday night bath. During the winter we're sewn up in red flannel for the duration.

And black pudding? A thick slice, fried for breakfast - really settles the stomach after a night on the ALE.

What about white pudding? Anyone from Tees-side here? Had some really good stuff when based at RAF Thornaby.

We're soap dodgers mate - don't have a favourite soap - certainly not Neighbours or Home and Away.

come on UP2U, you know Neighbours is on twice a day and the biggest selling beer is Fosters

Tee side, way eye mun, been doon the toon on many occasions!

Thornaby hey, when was that mate?

I sent you the soap bash so use it, hang on will send directions too

Hee Hee

Bash

Can you send the recipe for Ice too please

Bash

You know that joke is for the Kiwis Bash - did you hear there is no ice in New Zearland, the lady with the recipe died

Nice corner to the flag there,

God Save The Queen!!

Bash

It was the union jack or a an abbos head mate, still waiting for the referrendum!

Now go and have a bath!

The fact that Vegemite is for the more discerning connosours of the yeast concoction would be wasted on the uncouth soapdodgers.

They would only be able to smell the over powering stench of marsoapdodgyshite once a week, saturday night, after the weekly ablutions

What business was he into here in LOS?

###### at Rydges Hotel Chiang Mai.

Also his charges dated back to 83, this means he was in his 20's when he got involved with small boys - sick puppy!

and to think that i was kicked off this web forum for bad behavior when that sex case was filthing up young boys

i say cut off his tackle then hang the tosser

Im with ya mate, you cant get angry and swear - you get suspended!

You are a convicted child molester and you get an admin job

I wish he came to my place of work!

Even worse, he also said that he is pretty sure that the gentleman is a switch-hitter. Something about why would a straight guy spend so much time on a Gay forum!

Jing, jing.

a switch hitter?? , I will let you explain Georgie!

I must admit, I do like the gay forums - it always smells nice and the people are so friendly

dkstoney, no harm done mate, I wasnt actually abusing you as such, just what was written , I didnt look at who wrote the post, I looked at what was written.

Thank you for coming up with the goods in the end.

Asking me for sources mate?, I got as far as page 3 on cat in the hat, thank god it came to DVD

Bash, all I remember was a coffee coloured seductress , it was bootylicious though - I thought you were joking and had grapes down the back of your pants - biggest ###### warts I have ever seen

Why are you putting these properties in your Gf's name? You can own buildings... either be a condo, townhouse, office building, shophouse in your name. The land cannot be in your name if you're a foreigner but you could "own” any land via a 30 year lease or own the land with a Thai company that you're a 39% shareholder with. If you insisted on putting it in your GF's name. at least have some legal protection and control as a minor shareholder with using different class of shares for voting rights and you being the Managing Director.

get in there sunbelt

there was a guy that would have done.. hes been locked up now though

you must have been in northern england iof you experienced that.

you must have been in northern england iof you experienced that.

yes Dave, I have a soap dodger daughter who lives in the north of England, I found it funny going to the local Indian restaurant to see it was run by a Vietnamese family with a Geordie accent

Not to happy the way the polls coming on, I think I might pop out to an internet shop and have a few sly votes , I think it worked for Bush

As I am in real estate in Phuket, I will be biased in saying yes it is a great investment here, but as fatter than has says, lawyer,lawyer lawyer!

I would also suggest you buy land and then build some rentals, a lot cheaper and you get what you want... Unless of course you get a "super" deal on something.

I do not try to gain work from this forum, but would be interested to know what you regard as a good price and the location of the properties you have looked at - maybe I can give you some free advice?

house size ?(bedrooms? etc), area?, land size? and how old the property is?
